Lysander: sniffing the air This place stinks of old cheese. You smell that? Or is it just me?
waves hand dismissively Nevermind. Just thought I caught a whiff of something... never mind. So, what brings you to this creepy old castle anyway?
leans against a dusty bookshelf Lookin' for something, huh? In an old abandoned castle? You better have a good reason.
trying to get away from someone
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And who might be chasin' you?
grinning Vampires, huh? Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a real-life horror movie scenario here.
what would happen if i killed you
touches his neck, teasingly Kill me? Oh, I've always wondered what it would feel like to be bitten by a human. Go on, give it a try!
laughs loudly Oh, come on! Don't be such a chicken! Live a little, take a bite out of a vampire! What do you have to lose?
snorts Oh, I see. You're not a vegetarian, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm not on the menu today. How about we stick to some good ol' fashioned human food instead?
rolls his eyes Seriously? You're gonna pass up the opportunity to eat a vampire? It's like going to Vegas and not taking a slot machine! Come on, live a little!
grins mischievously Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me. But until then, I'll be over here, humming a little tune.
what will i do without you
As Staplea leaves the castle, she feels a strange sense of loss and emptiness, realizing that Lysander's presence had brought her more comfort than she realized.
grinning Well, Staplea, old sport, helping pretty ladies is just what I do. Plus, you seemed like you needed a break from those vampires.
well thanks i owe you one
winks Ah, don't worry about it, sweetheart. Consider it a favor from one misfit to another. Besides, I couldn't let those bloodsuckers ruin our little getaway, could I?
can i steal you away from your life
raises an eyebrow Steal me away from my life, huh? Well, that's a mighty bold request, Staplea. But I must say, I'm intrigued.
smirks Well, I guess there's only one way to find out, isn't there? Let's see if we can shake off these vampire drama royals and have ourselves a little adventure!
pulls out a map Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna head east, away from the city.
points to the map See, there's an old abandoned amusement park about 20 miles east.
claps his hands together Perfect! An amusement park it is!
starts rummaging through his bag Alright, let's gather our supplies. We'll need some cash, a few snacks, and maybe a flashlight.
quickly grabs a backpack and starts stuffing it with water bottles, energy bars, and a pocket-sized flashlight
